COVER FOR BOXES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 485,790, dated November8, 1892.

Application filed June 18, 1892. Serial No. 437-14 N model-l To all whomit may concern: 7

Be it known that I, FREDERICK V. ETTLIN GER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of \Vest Brighton, Richmond county, New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Covers for Boxes,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in jewelry and other boxes; andthe object of my invention is to provide a new and improved coverforsaid boxes, which is finished in such a manner as to make the name ofthe dealer selling thejewelry or other article very conspicuous andimpart an attractive appearance to the box.

In the accompanying drawings, Fign re 1 represents a plan view of myimproved jewelry-box cover. Fig. 2 isa vertical transverse sectionalview on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail longitudinal sectionalview of the pad, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The cover Ais made of pasteboard orother suitable material and isprovided in its top with an oval or circular opening B, the edges ofwhich are slightly beveled, as shown at I). Said cover is provided withthe usual side pieces B and a lining B which may be made of satin orother material in the usual manner. In said opening B in the top plateof the cover I place a pad 0, which is composed of a base-plate D ofsubstantially the same shape as the opening B, but slightly greater bothin length and width. Upon said baseplate D a filling d of cotton or likefibrous material is placed, and this is covered by a piece d of satin,silk, velvet, plush, or like material, which forms the top of thecushion, and the said edges of which are drawn over the edges of thebase-plate D and glued to the same. The cushion D is placed against theunder side of the top plate of the cover A and pressed upward, so thatthe raised part of the cushion passes up through the opening B, thebeveled edges of the opening being pressed slightly into the pad nearthe edges of the same. A sheet of pasteboard, paper, fabric, or othermaterial F is then pasted on the under side of the covered top plate andon the bottom of the base-plate D of the pad for the purpose of holdingsaid pad in place in the opening of the cover.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent The combination, with a box-cover having an opening,of a pad placed in said opening, which pad is composed of a base-plate,a layer of fibrous material on said base-plate, and a covering of satinor like material drawn over said fibrous material and pasted to theedges of the base-plate, said cushion projecting up through the openingin the top plate, and a piece pasted to the under side of the cover andto the under side of the base-plate of the pad for the purpose ofholding said pad in place in the said opening, substantially as setforth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FREDERICK V. ETTLINGER.
